Normal = 95RON most Tesco grages still have boring 97RON as their SUL, some Tesco garages have the 99RON SUL. There are different octane ratings for the different SUL fuels Tesco sell.

There are different octane ratings for the different SUL fuels Tesco sell. Actually, normal unleaded is "at least" 91RON. Premium unleaded at least 95RON, and Super Unleaded at least 97RON. Nowhere has normal unleaded anymore though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere has normal unleaded anymore though. So you're saying that the 'normal', plain, bog standard unleaded you get on forecourts is 95RON then?

Thorin Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 So you're saying that the 'normal', plain, bog standard unleaded you get on forecourts is 95RON then? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 How does it feel to be right and wrong at the same time? Huh? I said 'normal' unleaded found at the pumps is 95RON, and it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Remember the issue some fuel supplies had with a dodgy batch of fuel? I believe Tesco was amongst the distributors. It had I think bad levels of benzene, killed off peoples cats/lambdas. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/talking_point/6405973.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 V-Power costs 94.9 in Wolves, so for a sake of 2p per litre I think i will stay with Shell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 or bp ever since that i never use tesco Whatever the explanation is (and I honestly don't think we're going to hear it) - would you trust the opinion of a man who constructs his sentences as per the above?

supra_aero Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 You say you dislike Tesco, but Shell garages (most of them mind) have annoyingly high or badly sculptured speed humps or entrances which cause scrapes. Almost all have them, despite the fact they know high performance cars which are usually low crave shell optimax. WHY Shell!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I stick to Tesco 99 whenever I can. Good value and good performance, and it sticks it to the bigger oil companies if more people buy from cheaper outlets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
